Trust Wallet, a self-custody Web3 wallet provider, has partnered with The Open Network (TON) to expand the adoption of blockchain technology. This collaboration aims to leverage Telegram’s extensive user base, enhancing the integration of gaming finance (GameFi) and decentralized applications (DApps).

Expanding User Access to TON

The partnership will enable Trust Wallet to offer its 100 million users the ability to send and receive Toncoin (TON) tokens. Nate Zou, head of product at Trust Wallet, highlighted that this collaboration will provide users with greater access to the TON ecosystem, including single chain and cross-chain swaps and potentially supporting TON NFTs.

The integration promises to improve how users interact with TON’s blockchain technology. In the coming weeks, Trust Wallet plans to enable TonKeeper wallet imports, with further functionalities, such as the integration of TON Connect and TON DApps, expected in the coming months. Nate Zou described this partnership as a “natural progression” for Trust Wallet, aligning with TON’s community-driven and user-friendly approach.

Open Source Solutions and Developer Empowerment

On May 29, Trust Wallet released an open-source solution called Barz, an ERC-4337-compatible smart wallet. This solution aims to help developers overcome wallet challenges and limitations, promoting further blockchain and Web3 adoption through features like account recovery, flexible key management, and signature migration. Luis Ocegueda, head of engineering at Trust Wallet, emphasized that open source allows other developers to explore innovative solutions beyond the initial ideas.

On July 26, Ledger announced its new touchscreen wallet, with CEO Pascal Gauthier outlining the three essential aspects of wallet security: a secure element chip for private key security and storage, a secure operating system, and a secure screen driven by a secure element. Gauthier emphasized that their newest wallet meets all three criteria, setting it apart from other touchscreen devices that lack secure element-driven screens.

The partnership between Trust Wallet and TON marks a significant step towards increasing blockchain adoption. By integrating TON’s blockchain technology and leveraging Telegram’s user base, Trust Wallet aims to provide a more seamless and user-friendly experience for its users, fostering the growth of GameFi and DApps in the Web3 ecosystem.
